Baseball Player Accessories & Bat Accessories FAQs

What is baseball eye black?

Baseball eye black is a grease or stick product applied under the eyes by players to reduce glare from sunlight or stadium lights. Traditionally, it's used to help athletes see more clearly by minimizing the amount of light that reflects off their cheeks and into their eyes, thereby improving focus on the ball. Eye black is popular among baseball and softball players, both for its functional glare-reducing qualities and as a way to express team spirit or personality on the field.

What are the different types of baseball eye black?

There are mainly two types of baseball eye black: grease and stickers (or strips). Grease eye black comes in a stick or tube and is applied similarly to face paint, offering a customizable shape and coverage. Eye black stickers or strips are adhesive patches that are quickly applied under the eyes, providing a mess-free and uniform look. Both versions are made to be safe for skin and to stay in place during play, but the choice depends on personal preference and desired appearance.

What are the rules regarding eye black?

Rules for eye black can vary by league or level of play. Most baseball leagues permit eye black as long as its use is functional; to reduce glare, and not excessive or used for non-sporting statements. Some leagues may prohibit messages, logos, or designs other than basic stripes. It's important for players to review specific league and tournament guidelines to ensure compliance, as improper use could lead to warnings or being asked to remove the eye black.

How do you apply eye black?

To apply eye black grease, twist up the stick and draw a solid, horizontal line just below each eye, ensuring the skin is clean and dry. For stickers or strips, peel off the backing and press firmly under each eye. The placement should follow your cheekbone, directly beneath the eye, to maximize glare reduction. After your game, remove the product with a gentle facial cleanser or makeup remover, and avoid contact with the eyes during both application and removal for best results.
